Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 15:23
Verse 23. He wandereth abroad for bread ] He is reduced to a state of the utmost indigence, he who was once in affluence requires a morsel of bread, and can scarcely by begging procure enough to sustain life. Is ready at his hand. ] Is wdyb beyado, in his hand-in his possession. As he cannot get bread, he must soon meet death.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 17-35 - Eliphaz maintains that the wicked are certainly miserable: whence he would infer, that the miserable are certainly wicked, and therefore Jo was so. But because many of God's people have prospered in this world it does not therefore follow that those who are crossed and made poor as Job, are not God's people. Eliphaz shows also that wicked people particularly oppressors, are subject to continual terror, live very uncomfortably, and perish very miserably. Will the prosperity of presumptuous sinners end miserably as here described? Then let thy mischiefs which befall others, be our warnings. Though no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous, nevertheless, afterwar it yieldeth the peaceable fruits of righteousness to them that ar exercised thereby. No calamity, no trouble, however heavy, howeve severe, can rob a follower of the Lord of his favour. What shal separate him from the love of Christ __________________________________________________________________
